We’ve been made aware of a post in Hungerford Community Group regarding one of our cows escaping and now being injured!
Three hours. That’s all it took 🤣🫣
Anyway; a huge huge thank you to those who helped the cow.
They will continue to be monitored but so far - they look ok!
Please do save this number and either report any cow issues directly to this page OR text / call 07768 255831!
Thanks so much 🐄🐄🐄🐄

Look Who’s Back 👀👀
They’ve made it to us safely!
Please please PLEASE bear in mind that these cows have never seen a car move at speed, let alone be in the path of one. 🚗
Over the coming days and weeks, please drive extra carefully over the common and give the cows the space that they need to work it all out.
If you’re out walking, please do leave plenty of room between yourself and the herd. They haven’t seen lots of people and dogs before so they will be curious to begin with. Please keep your dogs close by and again, give them lots of space. 🐶
We can’t thank you enough for your co(w)operation!

🐄 They’re back! 🐄
The cows will be returning to the Common today, arriving from around 12 noon – a sure sign that the seasons are shifting and another one of Hungerford’s most loved traditions is underway again. We’re bashing out the annual traditions thing week, aren’t we?🎉
If you’re out and about this afternoon, keep an eye out as they make their way onto the Common – it’s always a special sight to see them make their way on to the common.
❗️As always, please take care when driving nearby, keep dogs under close control, and give the cattle plenty of space so they can settle back in safely ❗️
Welcome back, ladies & gents! 🌿🐄

What a wonderful afternoon it’s been at Hocktide 2026!
Our luncheon was a fantastic opportunity to come together, celebrate tradition, and enjoy great company. A huge thank you to everyone who attended and made it so special—and of course, to our brilliant caterers for such a delicious meal 👏
Following the luncheon, we continued with one of Hocktide’s most unique and historic customs… the shodding! 🔨
This year, we were delighted to have the wonderful Carl Smith step into the role of Blacksmith, carrying out the tradition with great skill and spirit.
The shodding is thought to symbolise:
Binding individuals to the town and its traditions.
A playful but meaningful act of loyalty and belonging!
Don’t worry though, the nail doesn’t actually go into the shoe 👀
No shoes or feet were harmed!
Days like today are what make Hungerford so special—community, history, and a shared sense of pride in our traditions.
